The village existed during the Second Bulgarian state of 1187-1396. The reason for that is the fortress of Hradiste, which was destroyed by the Turks. The fortress with a lookout tower was built during the reign of king Mikhail Shishman in 1225.
In ancient times, the field on which the village is located was the bottom of a lake, and the area was called Dark because of the frequent fogs.
